about

One night, when I couldn't go to sleep, I stayed up and talked to God. I lay bare and exposed to Him while I wrote this song

lyrics

In the night
I especially afraid of you
In the light
I feel ashamed cause I'm nude

And in the dark
I couldn't tell if I'm asleep at all
And when we're blind
Colour isn't used

In this life
We've forgotten we were born at all
And in death
Like babies we learn to crawl

And in the hearts
Of a billion other souls depraved
We may find
On our knees we're saved

And I don't have to be afraid
Cause I know just who I am to you
And I can walk out of the dark
Cause I hear you're calling me

And in these bones
I'll find a way to climb to you
And at the peak
I'll see that you were climbing too

So I'll burn all my desires while I walk into your land
All my heart can do is to beat in your hand
